To avert the flood of cas es before the Honor Council which usually come during April and May. j Soviet Literature Specialist Speaks Bv ALAN BANO DTH Staff Writer One of the nation's foremost experts on Russian-literature told a Soviet history class here Wednesday that cuVural ex changes between the' U. S. and the Soviet Union have pro moted much good will and in creased mutual understanding. Dr. Ernest J. Simmons, who went on a mission 'to Russia in 1947 to secure cultural ex changes between the two coun tries, asserted, though, that cultural exchange swas very difficult during the. 15 years that the U. S. failed to recog nize the Soviet Union. Simmons, author j of major works on Pushkin, Tolstoy and Chekhov, theorized,. "If the Soviet Union had been recog nized and given aid,;or at least accorded neutrality,! from 1917 to 1932, its leaders .ould have been robbed of the'r hostility towards the rest of t,he world." In outlining the eairly history of cultural exchange attempts between the two nations, the professor from the iCenter for Advanced Study ati Wesleyan in Connecticut pointed out that the U. S. found Russia prompt in repaying U. S. j aid given during the First Five-Year Plan. j Simmons, owner cf three de grees from Harvard, also noted that U. S. corporations were instrumental jtn improv ing Russian industry during the late Twenties and tarly Thir ties, especially in the produc tion of automobiles .ind railway equipment. "U. S. companies sold their products there and technicians aided in teaching Russians how to? produce them. ' "The experience of those years supported th1 idea of a viable harmony between the countries," Simnions said. "But both nations lip to World War Two were woefully ignor ant of each other's culture. "This same situation is dup licated today with? the U. S. failture to recognise the Com munist regime in China, which has been in powe since the late 1940's." During the war; Simmons explained, it would have ap peared that since the countries were allies better Cultural un derstanding would have oc curred. The study , of Russian literature in U. S. colleges in creased greatly, land many .translations of Russian works were made. ; But, though the.U. S. gave Aplin said the residence meetings will feature repre sentatives from both the Men's and Women' Honor Coun cils. He said these talks will deal mainly with practices of the Councils. They will involve discussion of rules and their penalties with illustrations from past cases. No names will be used with the sample cases. The newspaper articles will deal with the philosophy of the Honor System, reforms and major controversies which arise under the present sys tem. the Soviet Union some 10 bil lion dollars in lend-lease aid," the delay in the opening of the second front tended to sour their friendly attitude towards the United States," Simmons said. "Hopes were high for in creased cultural relations af ter the war: the State Depart ment invited the Red Army Chorus to visit the U. S. and requested information about exchanging orchestras, art and dancers, to promote mutual understanding. See SIMMONS On Page 6.

News Editor Them commies are agitatin' again here in Chapel Hill, but they suffered a setback yesterday when loyalist forces captured a strategi cally located gun emplacement. Loyalist Security Chief Arthur Beaumont and a Daily Tar Heel staff member captured a menacing ma chine gun located atop the battered remains of Davie Hall in the "re stricted sector." "Obviously a professional job," Beaumont muttered when he saw how the gun which he described as a $9 toy had been bolted to a special wooden platform.

Cotten escaped injury when three pistol shots were fired at him Thursday night by an unidentified intruder in his Hooper Lane House. Cotten, 57, woke up about 11:50 to get some milk from his kitchen. Yrhen he return ed to his bed he -saw under it what he described as "a duf fel bag stuffed full." He reached under the bed and felt the back of a "warm and damp" body. "When I saw that it was a man, I ran out of the room immediately," Cotten told the DTH yesterday. "The man pulled out the light plug, so the darkness hurt his aim. "I was at the top of the steps when he fired the first shot, and one of the other two hit the overhead light. I ran out the back door and over to a neighbor's house, whose lights were on and door for tunately open." ihe neighbor telephoned the Chapel Hill police, who re ported "within 60 seconds . . . in amazing time" according to Cotten. The house at 520 Hooper Lane was surrounded. Chap el Hill Police Chief William D. Blake told the DTH. and blood hounds were used. But the man had already left the house. Cotten said that three dol lars were stolen from his wal let and that some money was missing from the wallet sev eral davs ago.

Deferment Test's Deadline Midnight By BILL ROGERS Special to the DTH The deadline is drawing near for all UXC men who want to take the draft deferment test. All applications must be postmarked no later than mid night tonight. Mrs. Willie S. Lynch, chief clerk of Local Draft Board Nubmer 69 in Hillsborough, urged all male students to take the test and added that it can not in any way hurt a stu dent's chances for derment. "If a person does poorly on his test, yet is in the upper part of his class, he will have lost nothing by taking the test," she said. According to Mrs. Lynch, stu dents will be deferred if they make at least 70 on the test, or are in the upper 'part of their class. The requirements on class standing vary according to the class. Freshmn must be in the upper half of the male stu dents in the freshman class. Sophomores must be in the up per two thirds of their class, while juniors must be in the top three fourths of theirs. Any studet, regardless of class standing, who makes 70c or above on the test will be defer red. "Quite a few UXC students have already gotten their ap plications for the test," Mrs. Lynch said, but she did not know the exact number. She has sent around 1,600 applica ton blanks to Chapel Hill for use by students. Officials at North Caro lina Memorial Hospital said Friday that Luther Hodges, former North Carolina gov ernor and U. S. Secretary of Commerce, is "still do ing fine." Hodges is in N. C. Me morial recuperating from surgery undergone there earlier this week. The daring daylight raid (in the rain) began when Tar Heel head quarters received a message from an informer that the enemy had forti fied the restricted sector. The communique was quickly flashed to security headquarters where emergency plans were made. The daring Beaumont armed him self with his trusty umbrella and im mediately called for a frontal attack. Enemy agents had apparently foreseen the possibility of an attack and had the area heavily fortified. Beaumont courageously walked through an open gate in the barbed wire wall surrounding the sector and charged heedlessly through mud Mm A crowd of over 1000 heard Memorial Hall on Thursday DTH Photo By Jock Lauterer Concerning Oranage County draft call-up, Mrs. Lynch said, "I think that we are going to have to order a few men who were married before August 26, 1965, till fill our May draft call." Mrs. Lynch said that the de ferment test will probably not be given again until next spring and that students can only take the test once. "Once you have taken the test, you can never take it again.'' WUNC May Be In Color WUXC-TV, the University's educational station, may well be broadcasting some pro grams in color in the near fu ture. George Trills, an engineer for the UXC Radio - Televi sion - Motion Picture depart ment, said programs from the XET (Xational Educational Televiosn), which furnished WUXC-TV with shows, will probably soon be broadcast ing live via a microwave sys tem and in color. Hugh Fisher, a senior and RTVMP major, said that the station is seriously consider ing purchasing a new Ampex tape recorder for color broad casts. Grills, just back from the of Broadcasters convention in Chicago, told a RTVMP 58 class that color was the "big thing" at the meeting. "Trans istorized equipment was very popular, too." he said. Grills stressed that WXX'C TV, as was the case with most stations, has been hesitant to buy new equipment because what is purchased now quick ly becomes obsolete. He said, "It soon becomes tempting to just stand back and watch the changes fly by." In Daring puddles, holding aloft his umbrella. The plan was almost foiled when it became apparent that the enemy had padlocked the now empty Davie command post But the fearless Beaumont could not be stopped. Putting aside his lethal umbrella, the plain - clothes undercover man forced a window open and vaulted into the enemy fortress. . He narrowly avoided a wheel-barrow trap fiendishly placed under the window; "Up the stairway!" he shouted. Heedless of the dust collecting on his suit Beaumont continued to ad vance up the stairs. At the top of the stairs he quickly spied the trap door Ellison. Woodward it Scapegoat By ALAN BANOV DTH Staff Writer Negro novelist Ralph Elli son and historian C. Vann Woodward agreed in their Carolina Symposium speech es Thursday night that a "scapegoat myth" in the South "relieves the American indi vidual of his responsibility for the condition of society."

While the DTH man unlimbered his camera to cover the chief, Beau mont seized a loose pipe to smash the gun mount. Clutching the dirty weapon, Beau mont and the newsman (still keeping his trigger i finger on the camera's shutter button) ran out through the open gate before stunned onlookers realized what had happened.

Founded February 23, 1893 Myth like the proverbial mosquito in a nudist colony I just don't know wiiere to begin!" Outlining a history of t h e Southern mythology, Wood ward, who earned his docto rate degree here in 1937 along with acting Chancellor J. Car lyle Sitterson. explained sev eral myths about slavery in the South. He called "self - contradic tory" the "unprofitability myth that slavery was a losing business" and the "nat ural limits myth that slav- ery by the early 1850' 8 had reached the natural exten sion of its expansion." "If expansion were a life and death issue," Woodward said, "then it was inevitable that the slave owners would fight, which they did. "The fallacy of these myths is that slave expansion was confused with cotton expan sion," he added. The Civil War period prolif erated myths, Woodward as serted, and the "slave guilt mythology changed to war guiltmythology. This mythol ogy was to the South like the Trojan War was to Greek mythology." He said Southerners "un consciously continue to use the myths in moments of nostal gia and self pity, as defenses against discouragement or des pair.
